Agreed on more workloads going to third party SaaS.

That might obviate a service like this, or else enterprises will want a service like the to broker auth and monitor access to their SaaS as well.

There are CASB (cloud access security broker) products now that do the monitoring and reporting aspect, though AFAIK don't participate in auth.

I've been involved in a few deals of that size (acquiree and acquirer) and to my knowledge, no acquirer ever had an IB. If funded, acquiree could lean on angel or VC who's seen a lot of deals.

As policy, I don't think anything like immigration status should be a consideration when deciding on charges. There's a reason our ideal of justice is depicted as blind. Perhaps it could be considered as mitigating/aggravating circumstance at sentencing.

One tax advantage to approximating an index with individual stock positions is "tax loss harvesting": sell one stock at a loss and buy an equivalent. e.g., sell Coke and buy Pepsi. An advisor told me that you can add ~1% to your after tax returns. You need sufficiently large positions such that rebalancing transaction fees are negligible.

100% agreed, thanks for this!

(full disclosure: I'm a Yale EE grad working as a software engineer for the last 17 years in the valley).

The school has had an ambivalent relationship with applied sciences through its history. They considered closing the engineering departments in the early 90's when I was a student. I am glad to see the school investing in this area, even if it less out of intrinsic interest and more out of market demand and perceiving it as a growth area.
